I’m not completely convinced by the conclusion that Adam Back is Satoshi, but this story is such a fun bit of process-nerdery about journalism and research and rabbit holes www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/business/bitcoin-satoshi-nakamoto-identity-adam-back.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Oh hey! I got a chance to drop in on The Vergecast, one of my favorite tech podcasts, and @davidpierce.xyz let me nerd out about how important it is that technologies like podcasts stay open. I promise it is fun and not horrible and tedious. youtu.be/JLNShOwOaig?t=2618 (Starts at 43:38.)

Really honored to be asked by The Verge to write a couple of pieces about Apple at 50. Here's the first one, about the computer that made Apple a success long before the Mac: The Apple II.

As @davidpierce.xyz keeps saying, AI is fundamentally enterprise tech! I am convinced shoving it onto consumers without actually-great products is like forcing everyone to really really consider the consequences of giving SAP first-strike capabilities

This piece is probably as close as Ezra Klein will ever come to saying “AI is loser shit” and I appreciate it www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/opinion/ai-claude-chatgpt-gemini-mcluhan.html

“What makes A.I. truly persuasive isn’t that it praises our ideas or insights, it’s that it restates and extends them in a more compelling form than we initially offered, and does so while reflecting a polished image of ourselves back at us.”

SUCH a good piece on what AI feels like right now

I spent the last few months trying desperately to ditch my iPhone for a better phone... and ended up buying an iPhone. I know, I'm sorry, I tried to explain www.theverge.com/tech/899602/best-phone-android-ios-app-store
